[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some posters here who REFUSE to believe the VT admission got really tough.

Yes the admission rate is still relatively high. But getting in as a Virginia resident is difficult. Getting in from Nortern Virginia is even more difficult. Getting into VT engineering from Northern Virginia is really difficult especially if your DC is a white male.

VT used to be a safety school 30 years ago. JMU used to be its peer school. Things got changed but some posters just don’t want to accept the current trend. [/quote]

+1 My kid in 2021 with a 4.83/4.0 from a Governor's School, #4 of 600+, 35/1560, 3 varsity letters with a captainship and state championship, state and regional chemistry awards,  senior internship with an orthopedic surgeon and all of the other bells and whistles (NHS, Spanish Honor Society, Science Honor Society, Special Olympics).  Accepted to Duke, Vandy, UVA (Echols Scholar), W&M (Monroe Scholar), Pepperdine Presidents Scholarship and Pitt Honors [b]was waitlisted at VT for the College of Science (Chemistry).[/b]  The 3 ahead of them are all at a HYPSM and the one after is OOS at a coveted UC.  Of the total top 5, 3 were waitlisted the other two accepted to engineering but as I said are at a HYPSM.  I would say admissions are unpredictable at VT and don't take it for granted.[/quote]
